One of my biggest inspirations these days is Cassey Ho.

She is a Pilates group fitness instructor turned self-made perky internet force to be reckoned with at 28 years old. And I think that’s awesome.

She has helped my fit more comfortably into my pants, feel better about my whole self, and honestly, has encouraged me to pursue this writing thing as more than a wistful hobby. It’s not like I’ve met her. She has no idea she’s done this. But through the power of her videos, her message, and her brand, her encouragement sticks.

I encourage you to watch this and share. She’s gone and done it again. I wish I could be as brave and confident about my own beauty and stop caring so much about the beholder.

After watching this, I think I’m one step closer.
